spread a supper for ten gentlemen, most.
ly visitors to the city, rarely equalled
here in elegance. The table was decora-
ted with elegance, and at each plate was
superb boquet, composed of the choic-
est selections from the greenhouses here.
At each plate was placed the card setting
forth the menu, the artistic handiwork
of Roger Davis, the whole piece of ex,
quisite etching, the lettering glowing in
golden finish. The "Finis" is beautiful

feast. or rather gave spirit to 1.-THE

write in anticipation of the event. We
can safely answer for its success.

How THEY FEED.

Yesterday morning a Battery
Park messenger placed on our table
a package of fragrant suggestive4
ness. Opening one we found what
was modestly called a roll" of light
bread, more properly to be called a
loaf, Drowned to delicate
turn, risen to the utmost capac-
ity of the oven lid, and light as the
sea foam. And we learned that
this was the allotment to the plate
Of each guest at his morning meal ;

Now, if we be censured as q puffer,
May we be there, the next to suffer.

An EXCURSION TO CHARLESTON s.,
A number of our South Carolina
friends, residents of Asheville, would
like to visit Charleston on the 26th,
the occasion of the unveiling of the
monument to the patron-saint of all

sion to that city for that occasion
We suggest this upon the request oi

FIRE IN RALEIGH.
The first inform alton we have of q
destructive fire in Raleigh comes through

the 9th, and resAted in the destruction

dustaies" of the city. We are glad to see

lsWOf&S. ifs ss..<
The following telegram gives the
particulars
RALEIGH, March 27.-Early this NOM
ing the extensive cotton seed oil and fer
tilizer mills here, which were the finest
South. save those at Columbia, s, c., were
burned. The fire is reported to have
broken out in the engine room, and
thence spread like fash to both oil mills,
the oil storage warehouses and the seed
storage sheds The buildings were both
of brick and covered half book. The
water supply was meagre. The fire was
very fierce, though there was almost no
wind, and in two hours the mills were in
ruins. Only enc warehouse was saved,
with large quantity of fertilizers. The
Richmond and Danville depot and ware
houses were in great danger, and other
warehouses near by were on fire, but
were saved.
The new oil mill was built last year.
Its capacity was tWenty-four hundred
gallons daily, while the capacity of the
fertilizer mill was seventy-fve tons daily.
Last autumn the mills were acquired bv
the Cotton Seed Oil Trust, which opera
ted them day and night, to their full
capacity. The loss is $4,000 and the in
surance is $4,000 Three hundred col
lars of this is in q New York agency. The
remainder is placed in a Raleigh agency
in the following companies Virginia
Fire and Marine $3.50, North British
and Mercantile $4,750, Washington and
Mercantile $3.50, Southern and Spring
field 81 800 each, North Carolina Home
81 $50, Rochester German, German Am
erican and Western Insurance Compan-
les 81 $50 each, Pelican $3.50, Hibernla
$500. The mills will be at once rebuilt
and enlarged, and will be ready for next
season. Four colUred firemen were in
jured by falling walls.
The NesUs- Observer gives the following
additional particulars:
The blaze was fearful, and the heat Of
the ire was sufficiently great to draw
rosin from fences one hundred yards dis
tant. The railroad tracks running with
! in few feet of the mills expanded from
the heat three feet and were bent out of
,, line.--It will he uaeaSsa ~ RI -ralar thana
with new iron.
Mr. w. 6. Upchurch, one of the local
directors of the mills in a conversation
with reporter yesterday said, that in all
probability the mills would be rebuilt at
once. He could not speak for the com
panY, but thought that this was good
point for mills and the company would
probably not leave it open for other syn
dicates or other companies. About fifty
hands are out of employment on account
of the fire.

Japanese in Washington.

WASHINGTON, MARCH 17.-Gen.
Count Kuroda, of Japan, and lis
party ofnine are atthe Ebbitt House.
The Count is man of commanding
intellect and force of character, 81
years ofage and of impressive ap>
pearance. Born in the middle rank
OF life, he has risen by his talents
and probity to become counsellor in
general to the Mkiado and his Cabi-
net and Lieutenant General of the
Imperial army. He has an intense
thirst for progress and is here to study
our political, social and industrial
conditions. He has been most inn
pressed thus far with our maguifi.
cent railroad system. He speaks
scarcely a word of English, but has
in his suite very brilliant interpre-
ter, Mr.. Arakawa,, of the class of '87,
University of Michigan, one of the
eleven japanese young men pur-
suing course there under President
Angel. The latter, while our min.
lister To China, travelled extensively
through Japan and has acquired a
strong hold on the affections of its
Government and people. =
In choosing his party for this tour
he selected one each from the mills
tary, engineering, educational, col
onization, agricultural and diplo-
matte departments of Japan. Whens
ever subject comes up in his sight
seeing, referab'e to any one of these
heads, he orders its representative
to investigate it particularly and
makes notes upon it. In this way
he systematizes the results of his
observation for the benefit of his
100000 countrymen. In religion
the Count is a Buddhist by birth,
but is liberal in his theories and
closely oDservant of the different
faiths he encounters in his journey
ings.
He married, somewhat late in
life, a lady of rank and intelligence,
by whom he has two children. She
shares in the progressive views now
so popular at the Japanese Court
and wears, on polite occasions, the
European dress. With this dress
daning has become quite the vogue
among japanese ladies, and dancing
masters from the polished capitals
OF Europe are in high favor. While
on his tour the Count has given
himself no time for, amusements,
not even for attendance npon the
theatre, though no is interested in
the elevation of dramatic art in his
own country. He and his suite at
tend closely to business while in
their hotel apartments, which which
embrace several of the largest pri-
vate parlors besides numerous bed

head, eat in the public dining room.
Their dress conforms exactly to that
of any well-bred travelling party of
gentlemen. Nearly all wear black
or brown Derby hats. The party do
not expect to find time to visit Mount
Vernon, but are "doing" the Capt.
tol, Smithsonian and the GOVERN
ment bureaus very thoroughly. On
Friday they return to New York,
thence overland to San Francisco,
thence home by the steamer Belgic.
